10 Shattering His Worldview (1/2)
Fang Mo actually had an acceptable tolerance for alcohol. Even though it wasn't to the stage of not feeling the effects after downing several hundred shots, it was rare for him to get drunk at a normal social event. Furthermore, there weren't many who could force him to drink, considering his post in the company; the few who could wouldn't be blasé enough to slam the table and say, ”Today, we're not leaving here until the sun comes up!”
Therefore, based on these two points, Fang Mo rarely found himself in a drunken state.
That night was an exception because it had to do with something more than alcohol. The main reason was he had been feeling weak and light-headed since waking up that morning. He felt a fever was coming. However, he had a project to rush that day, and on top of that, he had an important client coming to San Lin City for a business meeting. The debate between prioritizing his client or himself was short; he had to go meet up with this client… Believing his body could handle the stress, Fang Mo hurried to work after popping two pills into his mouth.
The long day of work combined with the few glasses of alcohol at night caused his slight fever to worsen. Fang Mo forced a smile throughout the meeting, and it was not until he left the hotel and returned to his car that his body reached his limits. He had just reached his car when his stomach started to turn.
The encounter with the ruffians and the cold breeze only exacerbated his situation… Therefore, Fang Mo's sudden fainting wasn't all that surprising. Well, it was not that surprising to Fang Mo himself anyway. The Ye family siblings, though, were stunned by his sudden collapse.
”What happened‽” Ye Shuang demanded hotly. ”How come he was fine when he was surrounded by all those rascals but fainted the minute I gave him my name‽”
Little Brother Ye rolled his eyes. ”Sis, it has nothing to do with that, okay? It's obvious that he fainted from too much alcohol intake!”
Fine, based on Fang Mo's pale face and the brows that were furrowed deeply even in his unconscious state… based on these few clues, a random stranger would have a hard time differentiating whether the person had fainted from drunkenness or a fever. Especially since neither of the Ye family siblings had studied medicine.
Ye Shuang frowned deeply. ”He collapsed from drinking too much alcohol‽ Damn… Why must all men be like this? Know your limits. So, what do we do now? Leave him here‽”
Little Brother Ye turned his lips up and glanced at the 'body' on the floor and said sarcastically, ”Good idea, leave him for the group of ruffians to come back and rob him?
”In the condition he's in, they'll get back more than his wallet and car keys; they could probably even steal the clothes on his back.”
”How about his cell phone?” Ye Shuang's brain was whirring. ”Maybe we can find his girlfriend or family's number on it…”
As she spoke, she started moving. Finding the phone was the easy part, but the moment Ye Shuang opened it, she felt like crying. F*ck! How am I supposed to know his phone password‽
The Ye family siblings were caught in a conundrum. They had to leave someone by the roadside after saving him‽ If that was the case, they might as well have not saved him earlier.
Little Brother Ye squatted beside Fang Mo for a long time wordlessly. His fingers poked the unconscious man repeatedly before saying, ”Since you're going to the hotel anyway, why don't you just share a room with him‽”
Ye Shuang felt like kicking her little brother's butt and sending him flying. ”You have the audacity to suggest having your sister share a room with an unknown man through the night? You traitor!”
